Your mate is really good Darren but its a bit irresponsible look how much we tax payers pay to the councils then you go in and tear up the flower beds ffs

I've only wheelied twice that i know off (dirt bike riding aside!!)

Once was coming off a junction at cluny on my last VFR, i gave it a handfull of throttle and a let go of clutch, and up she came, about a foot, came back down and vowed not to do again, mainly as it will eventually kill me, head bearing, chain etc.

The second time was a total accident (funny thought) was on the 675 demo and was just about to hand it back in, i was at a stop light by Frankensteins pub, and i stalled at the lights, started it again and pulled away, a bit enthusiastically as i didn't want to stall again, and up she came, got about a foot and a half for about a metre, in the main town centre!!

got a thumbs up from the white van driver behind me though

That bike made me laugh...a lot!

don't rev to hard when you drop the clutch for a wheelie or this might happen

Ha ha that's easy for you to say Mr busa

Not really dude, getting the busa up on power alone would be more difficult than you think!

Yep longer powerful bikes like the busa have a tendancy to spin the back wheel, however this can also turn into interesting rolling burnouts followed by a wheelie when the bike speed catches up with the wheel speed

i cant wheelie to save my life

hell, that would be 90% of the fun gone if we stuck to that . .
not that there are any of either in here . . . .

I found the best way to practice wheelies is on a Quad, you don't need to worry about side to side and can concentrate on getting comfortable on the balance point. worked for me, I do agree that power wheelies are much more controlled but my mate can hoist his R1 street fighter up off the clutch at 80-100mph.... each to there own...

Easiest way to wheelie is to go to Cadwell..... its the only time I can get the wheel up anyway
